Does deepsleep work at all
-
@bucknall I have read the post. What I did'nt understood was the point that the deepsleep function had two problems - the power consumption and the functionality as well. Can I expect the deepsleep function to wake up in the "program line" where I called deepsleep - or will It reset the board totally - when the deepsleep-quick-fix board arrives?
Sorry for not understanding the very detailed description in the "deepsleep post".

Apologies @adam_IoTK, misread your original question! Yes the stability issues are part of the coming firmware fix - they should help to resolve the waking up issues.
Thanks,
Alex

@bucknall Found it in https://forum.pycom.io/topic/929/deepsleep-stops-execution-of-main
Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for your patience.

@adam_IoTK waking from deepsleep starts execution from the same point as when you power up the board. There are a few patches coming soon that will allow to:
-
Detect the reset reason, so you can know if you come from a power-on reset or deepsleep, then act accordingly.
-
Do not start-up WiFi by default on boot. This will speed up boot times dramatically and reduce power consumption.
-
Keep the RTC running during deepsleep.

Is it currently possible to wake from deepsleep, e.g. on sensor reading?
-
@RobTuDelft it is, but not yet. The ULP coprocessor from the ESP32 has to be used for that, but we haven't enabled support for it yet.
-
@RobTuDelft
Some sensors have an "alarm" pin when values go below/over some threshold, with the deep sleep shield you could (in theory, I don't have it yet) connect those to either P17 or P18 and enable_wake_on_fall (or rise). -
@daniel Do deepsleep working ? I try to put my lopy after s.send(data) in lorawan config and after wake up 2 time from deepsleep the program is stop execution.
Any solutions for that ?
BTW ....I did try deepsleep from machine and alsi try with deepsleep board and DeepSleep from deepsleep.py library, same result

@chumelnicu deep sleep works... Can you be more specific around the way your program stops execution? A code example and the REPL output would help us understand your issue. Thanks.

@daniel Thx
Was about reading HR-04 Ultrasonic Sensor and send data over lorawan.
First i did connect Echo to Pin11 and Trigger to Pin12I just move it to Pin21 and Pin22 and seems all is ok
Solved ! Thx Daniel

Sure? Libs and Lopy updated today. Lopy attached to the DeepSleep board. Not even the first line of the example from Github or documentation works without an error
>>> os.chdir('lib') >>> os.listdir() ['LIS2HH12.py', 'LTR329ALS01.py', 'MPL3115A2.py', 'pysense.py', 'SI7006A20.py', 'dth.py', 'bme280.py', 'deepsleep.py'] >>> >>> from deepsleep import DeepSleep Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: cannot import name DeepSleep >>> os.uname() (sysname='LoPy', nodename='LoPy', release='1.7.8.b1', version='v1.8.6-724-g2b9ed601 on 2017-07-28', machine='LoPy with E SP32', lorawan='1.0.0') -

Do you happen to have another file named deepsleep.py in your LoPy root folder by any chance?

oops, thank you! How embarrassing :/ . It was still there from my pysense experiments. Anyway, still not working
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 7, in <module> File "/flash/lib/deepsleep.py", line 145, in get_wake_status File "/flash/lib/deepsleep.py", line 76, in peek IndexError: bytes index out of range > MicroPython v1.8.6-724-g2b9ed601 on 2017-07-28; LoPy with ESP32 Type "help()" for more information. -
@Camot
Setting aside the get_wake_status() example for now does a straight upfrom deepsleep import DeepSleep ds = DeepSleep() ds.go_to_sleep(30)put the board into deep sleep for 30 seconds?
-
@Camot do you have anything connected to P10? That's the pin used between the LoPy and the deepsleep shield for communication...

don't think so, the board become unresponsive for 50 seconds but heartbeat continues and then it reports
>>> ds.go_to_sleep(30) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/flash/lib/deepsleep.py", line 156, in go_to_sleep File "/flash/lib/deepsleep.py", line 105, in calibrate IndexError: list index out of rangeRepeated it 3 times with ds.go_to_sleep(30), alway 50 seconds unresponsive :/
@daniel
no, only the Lopy, the deepsleep shield, the antenna and power with a 3.3V Step-Up/Down Regulator on the Lopy 3.3V pin. -

That's the problem then, the deep sleep shield only controls - and is powered by - the Vin (labelled 5V) pin not the 3.3V.
Try applying your 3.3V to the Vin pin instead, the LoPy regulator should enter bypass mode and hopefully the PIC10 and extra circuitry shouldn't be affected too much.

Oh, I have not read it anywhere yet. Thank you @jmarcelino
It works with 3.3V on the 5V pin at the DS shield. The power consumption goes down to 0.4mA during deep sleep....but more than I have expected. Besides the high deep sleep current, I found something else that's odd. If I put 5v to the 5v pin, the Lopy does nothing. If I put in 3.3v at the same 5v pin, it is starting. And yes, I am using the 5v pin ....first pin right to the heartbeat. -

Can you explain it a bit better please? Where are you supplying 5V from? Is this with the LoPy inserted into the Deep Sleep shield?
